Brian Williams’ “Rock” solid start

Memo to the director: we really don’t want to see so much of Brian Williams’ back. The way the NBC anchor is situated on the high-backed couch on his new primetime magazine, “Rock Center,” doesn’t serve the viewers. Still, his talk with Jon Stewart was fun.

The ratings were so-so (4.1 million viewers) on Halloween night, but NBC has stressed they’re not putting Williams out there as a “ratings play.”

Nice to see Denver’s own media star Harry Smith back and telling stories.
